I’m learning how to listen with ADHD, all thanks to Netflix! No but really, I have a love/hate relationship with streaming. On one hand it entertains me while I’m on the treadmill. On the other hand, it can be a time suck that allows me to numb out and avoid my life. The other night […]

This Is Why ADHD Adults Hate Mornings
Mornings suck in my house. From what I can tell, most ADHD adults hate mornings just as much as I do. You know what I mean – something always trips you up as you try to start your day. Sometimes you’re missing a shoe. (or a child) Other times, you find yourself running […]
A Simple Solution for New Year Overwhelm
Soooo many ADHD women are talking about new year overwhelm, and what to do about it. You can join a new program, buy a new planner, hire a new coach. You can resolve to cut out sugar, set timers, journal every day. But this is the thing… …Goals and resolutions don’t work well for many […]
Getting Things Done With ADHD
Getting Things Done with ADHD will never be easy. However, you can develop strategies to help yourself do more of the things that really matter to you. In the spring if this year I bought Dr Russ Ramsay’s new book Rethinking Adult ADHD: Helping Clients Turn Intentions Into Actions. (affiliate link. See my full disclosure) As […]
Classy Comebacks To Comments About ADHD
No matter where you turn, people are making rude comments about ADHD. If you’re parent to a child with ADHD you’ve heard something along the lines of, “He just needs a whoopin.” Or better yet, “He needs a foot up his a$$!” Perhaps your parents were given this advice about you! (I know mine were.) […]
The Truth About ADHD and Self-Trust
This is the truth about ADHD and self-trust: it doesn’t exist. ADHD adults don’t trust themselves at all. In fact, our self-concept begins to erode pretty early in life. I struggled to do my calculus homework every day of my junior year. I’d stare at lines of notes in my own handwriting as if another […]
ADHD and Fear
There is a connection between ADHD and fear of…EVERYTHING. “You have a real fear of cancer, don’t you?” My husband asks me as I follow him around the house reciting the survivability rates of various cancers. We’d just returned from the gym where I’d been running on the treadmill listening to a medical podcast. My […]
ADHD Coping Strategies
Many adults develop ADHD coping strategies to help them navigate life. Some of these strategies are helpful, while others actually produce long-term consequences. Picture yourself with a looming deadline for work. It’s Friday and your report is due on Monday. You took the day off so you could work from home to complete this project. […]
Multitasking and ADHD
Multitasking and ADHD do not mix. Actually, Multitasking doesn’t work for neurotypicals either, but I’ll explain that later. I remember when I was a kid, I would sit in math class and take these detailed notes about how to do whatever type of math we were learning. Frankly, no matter what it was it […]
ADHD Women and Personal Growth
In order to talk about ADHD women and personal growth, I actually have to make a few confessions. First, this entire website and all of the content on it was developed with the intention of building an audience. Yep- I wanted all of you to like me and follow me and potentially buy products from […]
